Dundee will be in the SPL so back Dunfermline to win the first division, Falkirk may run them close. In the second division back Ayr United who spanked Champions League qualifiers Motherwell four nil today. Otherwise I would say that you'll do pretty well with that accumulator.

Man United for the Premier League, I can see Mancini's player juggling falling apart, and the Tevez/Balotelli sagas are unlikely to be over. Wolves have made some up and down signings but still have a pretty strong squad, MK Dons are less likely to bottle League 1 than Sheffield United. Paul Sturrock's done well at Southend and will continue to do so, while Paul Buckle at Luton doesn't bear thinking about.

never done e/w mate how does that work, do you get proportion of odds if all of your selections come in winning or getting promoted via 2nd/playoffs?

Depends on the bookies' terms. Used to be the team had to finish top 3 but most (many?) offer top 4 now for an e/w win. Basically you pay double your stake and if each of your selections finish in the top 3 (or 4) then divide all of the odds by 4 and then multiply them together for the winnings.

eg say your e/w selection was Chelsea, Leeds, MK Dons, Fleetwood & Forest Green their prices are 5/1, 12/1, 9/1, 7/1 & 9/1.

You could put £10 on the win-only & £10 on the e/w. If all won (Chelsea hah!) then your return would be £624000. However, if they all just finish in the top 3(or 4 depending on bookie) the return would be £2614 give or take a few pence.

Therefore I will be chucking a few pounds on a speculative selection of clubs with longer odds that I believe stand a good chance of finishing top 3 if not actually winning their league. In my above example Chelsea would pose a fairly sizeable risk as I believe the Manchester clubs have the top 2 places sewn up. You therefore have Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs all competing for 1 (maybe 2) place. Place Man Utd (the longer odds of the 2 Mancunian clubs) into the equation and you're still looking at £1917 return from your £20 outlay :)

Why are Fleetwood one of the favourites at 7/1?

Probably cos they walked the Conference last season with 103 points.

The season before Crawley walked it with 105 points (then promoted from L2).

The season before Stevenage walked it with 99 points (then promoted from L2).

It pains me to say it but I really fancy Cardiff to win the league this season. I know they've had the whole palava regarding the kit and logo change but they are starting to build a fantastic team at this level...

These are the players they have at their disposal (players in bold are who I think are their strongest):

Goalkeepers: Joe Lewis, David Marshall, Elliot Parish

Right Full-Backs: Kevin McNaughton, Darcy Blake

Left Full-Backs: Andrew Taylor, Darcy Blake

Centre-Halves: Ben Turner, Mark Hudson, Anthony Gerrard, Dekel Keinan, Darcy Blake

Centre-Midfielders: Filip Kiss, Don Cowie, Aron Gunnarsson, Stephen McPhail, Jordon Mutch, Peter Whittingham

Right-Wingers: Kim Bo-Kyung(just cost them 2.5m and was wanted by Dortmund), Craig Conway, Peter Whittingham, Kadeem Harris

Left-Wingers: Craig Conway, Peter Whittingham, Joe Mason, Kadeem Harris

Strikers: Etien Velikonja, Kenny Miller, Robert Earnshaw, Rudy Gestede, Joe Mason

You could pick another good 11 in their squad, they are clearly spending big in terms of transfer fee's and wages.

Cheers for that. Do you know what betting websites offer this e/w win? I can't find it on skybet or bet365.

bet365 for sure. You select it on the payslip if I remember correctly.

I may of course be wrong with my interpretation (as I am not a bookie by trade) but it is how I have always understood it.

I'd check skybet again as they do normally offer E/W places for top 3 usually.

This year I'm going to back teams for promotion rather than a place, I've had my fingers burned too many times!

At this earlier stage (as there are still a lot of signings to be made) my selections for promotion would be:

Championship: Bolton, Blackpool - I'm also going to keep an eye on Blackburn they have made some alright signings and whilst I don't rate Steve Keen should he get the boot early in the season and the board appoint a decent manager then they could make a run for promotion

League 1: MK Dons/Preston/Swindon - I'm also going to keep an eye on things at Brentford and Notts County and will have a small bet on yeovil who were 25/1 the other day for promotion on Skybet.

League 2: Chesterfield/Southend/Gillingham and i hate to say it but the r****s are in with a shout. Aldershot could be worth a small bet as they went on a decen run towards the end of the season I seem to remember.

I don't do Premier League anymore as it gets boring and the odds are too short.

Good luck whoever you back!

Interesting to see in our division few people are backing bookies favourites Leicester, Leeds who have in Colin a manager who specialises in getting clubs promoted from this division or perennial chokers Cardiff who appear to be buying well to what is already a decent side.
